"And then... develop Love Gate into the largest religion?" Su's voice carried a hint of amusement, knowing perfectly well which question would strike at her sore spot.

Putting all that aside, a God who can respond to the people's faith would be a devastating blow to other religions...

"……snort,"

Sure enough, Alicia's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Having not gained any advantage over Su, her cheeks puffed out, and she turned to Kevin beside her, saying, "And Kevin, have you thought about what a female version of Su would look like?"

Naturally, Kevin ignored it.

It's certainly a good thing for a companion to regain their former enthusiasm, but that should not be used to prank them.

Compared to Alicia, Fu Hua silently followed in the group, preparing for battle with a vigilant gaze.

"After finding Gretsch, try to wake her up, and then eliminate the threat around her, namely, So."

"As for the way to reach the location of Sa, perhaps only Vita has the authority, or perhaps... the seven little Vitas activated the sacred artifact and triggered the world-destroying flood. Of course, Velvey doesn't believe this; she firmly believes that she can find the location herself."

"She placed a special communicator on me, which could transmit everything we saw and heard from here."

Kevin said calmly that the Honkai energy he sensed here was very weak.

The Ark Project seems to be the right choice in this respect, but... there are also threats from other civilizations and a huge shadow from the deep sea.

Grace...

She had indeed grown up by then, and even when faced with the unknown starry sky, she dared to take the first step.

All they could do was send her gifts that symbolized their longing, hoping to offer her some comfort during her long journey.

“Oh, I believe in Velvet too, but this passage is still too much of a burden for four people. We need to speed things up... Let’s capture Vita. She still carries the trust of So, she should have a way to find the passage, as Luo Mo said.”

"So, Vita, the girl over there, won't you come out and meet me? Vita, who gently bites her lip with her teeth, and Ta, who gently flicks her teeth with her tongue."

Suddenly, she smiled and waved in that direction.

He then put what he had learned into practice and quoted what Luo Mo had said.

The aperture trembled slightly, not because it discovered its own problem... but because, why did she know its name?

But since things had come to this, she had no choice but to add an extra element to her original plan: the other party knew her... even knew her self-introduction word for word!

Hey, hey, hey, this is a bit creepy.

Or is the description of one of them being able to foresee the future serious? Then how could they fail!

"...Okay, hello everyone. But you probably didn't get in through normal channels, did you?"

Vita appeared slightly embarrassed and greeted them, then asked with some curiosity, "And... how do you know me, miss?"

Her red eyes flickered, still puzzled by their appearance, but the most important thing now was to figure out their purpose and demands.

“We’ve come for Gretchen, take us there.”

Qianjie said coldly, without any politeness.

Vita pondered to herself that it was definitely about Gretchen, which wasn't hard to guess... but more importantly, well, they certainly wouldn't tell her everything.

No one would do that.

"It's a pity... If you take me with you, you'll be completely exposed to Suzaku's perspective. Even so, are you still going?"

Vita pursed her lips with a hint of regret, her face showing an embarrassed expression.

"Yes, please take us there quickly. After all, if we need to find the Ark... your help will make things much faster."

Alicia smiled dismissively, unconcerned by the subtle danger implied in her words... she completely ignored it.

Vita remained silent, then followed along.

"As expected... since they were going to attack Susa anyway, it might not be such a bad thing."

That's what she thought to herself.

Now, Frost is like a small boat adrift at sea, unable to escape the 'divine punishment' and protection of Sa, nor the energy supply and special function of the Ark. She must find a suitable path within it to allow it to continue to exist in the deep sea.

Neither of these outcomes was what she wanted.

She had read some of the documents about the Ark inside, and it was concluded that humanity's fate should be left to them to decide, regardless of right or wrong.

"Hmm...why do I feel like only Su's eyes are similar to his? Considering he doesn't open his eyes much, he's not even that similar..."

Alicia, however, was frowning over something else, which was quite different from what she had expected.

...

Despite what Vita said, they did not encounter any sudden attacks or anything when they entered the city.

The fact that Suo didn't notice what was happening here is, in a sense, a good start.

The city of Forlos was peaceful and serene, with lush vegetation and no signs of the Honkai energy they had been experiencing. The residents all wore expressions of happiness.

Not far away, several tiny people with faces just like Vita were bustling about among the residents, seemingly solving problems in their lives.

Peace and tranquility are the main themes of life here, making it a secluded paradise, undisturbed by the world.

In a sense, this world, transformed by the gods, is extremely suitable in terms of ecology and environment, perfectly fulfilling the mission the Ark was meant to accomplish and the civilization it was meant to cultivate.

Unfortunately, it is not a civilization of Earth.

Otherwise, Gretchen's mission would be considered half-completed.

Vita watched with delight as the group surveyed the city, feeling a surge of happiness, since she had essentially taken care of it herself.

"Let's go, don't stay too long, or we might attract Honkai Beasts~... I'm just kidding."

"As for the Ark, it might need the authority of one of the seven Vitas in the forbidden area. Um... really, does So trust me that much?"

Vita put on a somewhat displeased performance, but whether she was truly helpless remained to be seen.

After all, no one knows whether she was telling the truth.

"No wonder some people say Vita is a very kind and lovely girl. Did she really split herself into seven parts? Poor Vita, is she only existing as a soul now?"

Alicia moved closer and said with emotion.

As for the truth... of course it's not what she said. Does that mean the other person is also a scheming and manipulative woman?

That word "also" was very expressive, because it was spoken by Luo Mo while he was looking in her direction.

“Uh,” Vita scratched her head, not quite understanding what the other person meant.

Is it because you feel like what you said is a bit untrue? Otherwise, why would you say something so outrageous?

Divide it into seven equal parts...who can do that?!

Vita quickly won over Yixin and gained his trust easily. The group then headed towards the Ark.

According to the plan, waking Gretchen before the battle begins would undoubtedly be the best option.

If He still has some means to deal with Gretchen, it would be even more troublesome if she became a hostage. Although Luo Mo didn't mention it, they wouldn't blindly believe his words.

...

After passing through a huge stone gate, covered with yellow grass and moss, the sky seemed to change color, with gray clouds pressing down, and a desolate atmosphere always lingered in the forbidden area.

Perhaps it was the boulder bearing the marks of battle, perhaps they saw metal fragments of the Ark, or perhaps it was the mark of the Moth of Fire…

By this time, they could vaguely see the wreckage of the ark in the distance, lying across the earthen-colored land.

This isn't a forbidden area, but there are remnants of the Ark here; the forbidden area is deeper inside...

"This is the Ark. There is also an Ark in the forbidden area, so Xiao Yixin cannot come in. This is solely for her safety."

"Oh, there's no need to be so discouraged. Think about it, even if little Vita is gone, you still have the older one to keep you company, right?"

Seeing the affection in Alicia's eyes, Vita felt a little relieved and joked with her.

That's good. Neither Sa nor they will hurt them now.

However, in the end, she almost exclusively interacted with Alicia. Fu Hua, Qian Jie, and Kevin were all people who preferred silence, and this tendency was even more pronounced in Alicia's presence.

It sounds like Miss Pink Fairy is some kind of pathogen?

"Danger?" Qianjie gave a muffled groan, unmoved.

It's clear that he craves danger.

Vita silently distanced herself from him; her intuition told her that she would be in danger if she stayed near him.

"For example, Honkai Beasts or Paradise Guardians, they generally don't appear."

"Are there Honkai Beasts here too?" Alicia asked, puzzled.

"It wasn't there originally, and now, well, it's hard to say."

Vita said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, glancing at Fang Zhou with a subtle and unnatural look in her eyes.

..

"Speaking of which, a friend asked me to inquire about something with you, something about museum exhibits?"

"Hmm? Are you here for a tour?"

"No, just asking... is there a blond little boy named... Moriarty?"

“Hmm…” Vita pondered for a moment, then shook her head regretfully, “No, I remember very clearly, there is no such exhibit.”

"Okay, thank you, Vita!"

Alicia nodded slightly, as if she had put some worries aside.

They slowly approached the wreckage of the Ark. The massive hull was now so dilapidated that it could only serve as a bridge. Below, the rushing water was not a river, but the turbulent space itself.

As they suspected, this forbidden area was indeed quite unusual.

Suddenly, Kevin seemed to see something and took a step in one direction.

He saw something familiar, something he had personally handed to Gretchen, a souvenir from the Eden concert… Indeed, as Alicia had said, it was broken.

What Kevin saw was... a crystal ball.

It contains a miniature city.
